Cohousing-L Mailing List: media attention & communities list (was Emergency Help Needed!!!)

[Deborah Behrens (debbeh]

COMMUNITIES LIST - 

Michael McIntyre has substantially updated the communities list on the
Cohousing Network website, www.cohousing.org, following a recent survey of
all known communities.  The number has really increased.  It's been really
gratifying the last few months to see all the coho-l posts that announce yet
another group that is moving in to begin *living* in their new community.

MEDIA ATTENTION - 

When was YOUR COMMUNITY or cohousing in general mentioned in the news -
print, tv, radio ???

I've gone thru recent coho-l emails and found many mentions of cohousing in
the news.  I don't have all the details on this information, it's still
pretty raw.  

If anyone has more information about these or other cohousing media tidbits,
please let me know - Publication name, address, email address, website, date
of article, author, etc would be useful.  Even info on older articles would
be welcomed, local as well as national media.  Books too.  

And thanx for mentioning them in coho-l.  It's amazing the information that
can be found in old coho-l postings.  Coho-l has a weath of info, if you
keep looking. (thanx to Fred, and everyone on the coho-l list)  

This info is not yet on the Cohousing Network website.  Would you folks find
such a list as this useful on our website?  
Would you find it useful for us to get permissions to add the actual
articles to our site, rather than just the mention of the article?  (I have
NO idea what's involved in getting such permissions.)  I also have no idea
how much space they would take up on the web server, particularly if
pictures are included.
And/or reviews of the worth and accuracy of the articles?  

Would anyone like to help?

thanx so much,
